Kagiso Rabada is up for a quick chat. He says that this is a tough ground to defend and that is why they chose to bowl first. Adds that there is some dew and it will play a part. Tells that 170 is par total here, but West Indies continued scoring runs at a quick rate despite losing wickets. Mentions that they need a good start just like in the previous game.

Right then, West Indies have once again posted a huge total on the board and they will try to learn from their mistakes from the last game and defend this, but it will not be easy. South Africa will be confident as they have already chased down a big total in this series and with the quality that they have they cannot be written off. An exciting run chase is coming up to see who wins this decider. Stay tuned to see how it unfolds.

South Africa will be disappointed as it was a hot and cold bowling effort form them. They were able to pick up wickets at regular intervals, but they just could not restrict the run flow. They were at a good positon going into the death overs, but they failed to stop the Windies storm. Anrich Nortje was their best bowler with two wickets while Lungi Ngidi and Kagiso Rabada also picked up a couple of wickets each, but were far too expensive as well. Aiden Markram got one scalp to his name t

Welcome back for the chase.
